MKR’s Joshua Bonwick shares a troubling post featuring white Americans with guns

He emerged as a villain during last year’s season of My Kitchen Rules, and Joshua Bonwick is still courting controversy.

In a post on Instagram on Monday, the 27-year-old former MKR contestant shared a photo of two white Americans wielding guns.

‘When decent people are pushed into the corner. We are united,’ he captioned the troubling photo.

Josh added the hashtags: ‘#wethepeople #america #donttreadonme’.

In a series of posts added to his Instagram Stories, Josh explained the photo, revealing the couple wielding the weapons were homeowners in St. Louis.

Videos also posted to Josh’s Instagram showed them aiming the guns at Black Lives Matter protestors, who were marching past their mansion.

The man could be heard telling the seemingly peaceful protestors to ‘keep moving’ as he pointed a machine gun in their direction. 

It’s not the first time the outspoken reality star has taken a controversial stance on current issues.

Last week, he complained about having to wear a face mask while in Los Angeles, as the city continues to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.

‘This is what I legally am forced to wear if I want to be free to work, buy food, or go out into public, to prevent the spread of a variation of the FLU with a 99.7% survival rate,’ he wrote.

‘Despite the science proving that this doesn’t protect you from “biological weapons” or diseases, and IN FACT is making you choke on carbon dioxide. Is ignoring basic science the new normal now? OK Karen’s…’

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Joshua for comment.
